Chapter 602 Behemoth [14]

Of them, only Tian Yang and Albeus had major ties to Damien. As for the Drunken Old Immortal, he was close friends with Tian Yang so naturally he carried more worry for Damien than these Demigods. These three stood 100,000 kilometers away, watching intently for any changes in Damien's body.

A mesmerizing scene appeared. Asteroids, drawn to the scene by Damien's gravity, revolved around his body like a chain. Starlight converged upon his location as he inadvertently drew power from nearby worlds.

Everything was being consumed. This was the true face of the Void Physique. Unless Damien could control it…

Space and Time Essence rapidly disappeared from space, causing the formation of a dark zone. Here where even time didn't flow, the Void Physique's terrifying suction started to run out of material to absorb.

At the end of the day, it was still connected to Damien's body. Even if it overdrew his power, it could only do so to a level he could withstand without dying, otherwise it'd lose its host.

But it didn't seem satisfied. It compressed the devouring force's reach until it only covered a small area around Damien. In this area, the devouring force was terrifying to a new extent!

Bang!

A dull sound rang out. A small hole roughly the size of a fist was formed in the dark zone. Within a few sparks of time, it expanded until it was the size of a person.

Seeing it, the complexions of two specific individuals changed drastically.

"That is…" Parsiel frowned.

"Mm." Lucifer continued. "That boy somehow tore a hole in the fabric of this sector."

"Impossible!" Parsiel inadvertently yelped. Tearing a hole in space was one thing, but to tear reality…

"He won't be able to evade its force regardless of what mysterious abilities he possesses. In the worst case…"

Lucifer didn't have to say it. If Damien was pulled into a tear in reality without any sort of guide, he'd possibly be banished to the Abyss, sentenced to an excruciating death.

Parsiel gritted his teeth. That boy was incredibly valuable. He was an elite that had the potential to one day stand against the Saint King. He absolutely couldn't die here, or else Parsiel's entire visit to the Human Domain would be a waste!

He didn't hesitate any longer. His shining white wings spread into the void, his mana swirling around him like a group of dancers. After positioning himself in a praying position, Parsiel slowly took his mana back into his body.

A small red glob of blood exited his forehead. This was his essence blood, a condensed portion of blood vitality.

The second it appeared, it was branded with thousands of pure white runic patterns. And then, it tore through space until it reached the unconscious Damien, sinking into his body!

After taking this action, Parsiel no longer spoke. His pale face was enough to prove his sacrifice.

As for Damien, his body was slowly pulled closer to the tear in reality. It seemed he wouldn't be able to avoid being sucked in.

His body began to sink into the hole. But how could Tian Yang allow Damien to enter that ominous space? His body shot forward in a flash of light, his mana flaring to the extreme. He entered the dark zone without fear and began flying towards Damien desperately.

However, he couldn't teleport. Space…quite literally didn't exist in this area.

This was the terror of a dark zone. One could only use the mana in one's body with no hope of replenishing it. Even a Demigod would be thoroughly suppressed under these conditions, especially a spatial practitioner who relied on their surroundings more than a normal person.

Tian Yang was powerless in the dark zone. He no longer had blood vitality to spare if he didn't want to die a dog's death. If he approached too close, he would be devoured as well.

"DAMMIT!" Tian Yang roared. Even after understanding reality, he didn't stop trying to reach Damien. His disciples were extremely important to him! He wouldn't let them die!

His body reached the limits of its potential. As his Divinity spread, even the surrounding dark zone began to recede! Pushing his Divinity to its maximum allowed Tian Yang to slightly alter the laws of reality itself!

In a normal situation, it'd be far easier for him to patch a dark zone by providing space and time essence until it returned to normal, but ironically enough, in this timeless space, he didn't have enough time.

Regardless of how rapidly he repaired space, he wouldn't be able to save Damien with this method. That mysterious tear didn't abide by the normal laws of space. He could only be reckless.

The changes around him allowed him to carry a slight hope of success, he continued forward without a shred of hesitation!

He was 30,000 kilometers away. With every breath, his speed was slowing. It felt like he was flying through thick molasses.

When he reached 20,000 kilometers, Damien's unconscious body was already on the periphery of the ominous tear in space. With his current trajectory, he wouldn't make it in time.

His speed increased again. This time, Tian Yang sacrificed a portion of his life force. He traversed 10,000 kilometers in a mere instant, but his speed was meaningless in this timeless space.

While his movements were faster than ever before, he also didn't move at all. Time was a manifestation of change. In a place without time, how could change take place?

Tian Yang's body arrived within 10,000 meters of Damien. His status as a Demigod allowed him some leeway against the dark zone's harrowing conditions. He could still see hope!

And finally, he pushed himself until he was less than a kilometer away. This distance wasn't even a single step for him.

Tian Yang leapt forward. His arm was outstretched, grabbing toward Damien's body!

But his hopes were futile. At that critical juncture, his body ran into an invisible wall that he could never hope to break.

From this vantage point, he saw the entire process of Damien being sucked into the mysterious tear from start to finish. It was like he was viewing the past, present, and future all at once. It was like the universe was telling him that Damien's fate was inevitable.

Tian Yang bit his lip until it drew blood. He couldn't believe his own powerlessness! His disciple was facing a crisis, but he could only stand to the side and watch!

Under Tian Yang's helpless gaze, Damien's body was completely enveloped by that mysterious tear! In that last moment, a flash of shadow appeared from nowhere, submerging into his body as well.

But with its speed combined with the current circumstance, even Tian Yang only assumed it was an illusion.

Space regained its stillness. A group of 19 Demigods, along with a new dark zone, were the only proof that today's events truly occurred.

Their faces were pale. They felt no joy.

It was clear to all of them what kind of significance Damien's existence had for humanity. If he died…

Regardless, with his fate unknown, there was no use in holding false hopes. They could only sigh in pity at the loss of another genius.
